Not to speak Singlish

Singlish, singlish… always singlish. Most of the people in Singapore speak singlish. But why? Because singlish is easy, simple and short. They love to take short cuts and just hate to waste time taking the long way.

When you compare an American to a Singaporean, there will be a big difference from the way how they speak. This is an example to show you what Singaporeans will do when they can’t hear what the American is saying (below): ~
American (tourist): “Excuse me; may I know how to go to Orchard Road?
Singaporean (passerby): “What? Say again please. Go where? Orchard Road hah? Very hard to go one leh. You remember, ok? You walk straight then turn left then reach ready loh. Actually hoh, very simple one leh.”

Sorry everyone, I know that what I have type above seems to accuse some Singaporeans who do not speak Singlish. Here I sincerely apologize. Sorry to say this… (I am just stating the fact about the example above). Well, I, myself speak Singlish too. Maybe I am too use to it…

People cannot always change their habits in the blinking of an eye. So we must try our best to change the bad habits. I think I need to change too. Or else when I grow up, the habit will stay with forever and forever.

And maybe you all guys should get all your ten cents coins ready… they must be always in your pocket. It will be very hard for all of you to change the habit of speaking Singlish. Do all of you really think that you should put this ten cents coin into the piggy bank we have in our class (5A)? No, of course not! Then I will be kind and give you an advice: REMEMBER! DO NOT SPEAK SINGLISH OR ELSE GET YOUR TEN CENTS COIN READY!
